Because the C++ mapping specification doesn't say there should be such
definitions. Just use ObjectId* and Any* or the _var classes.

Because omniORB's DynAny support only conforms to CORBA 2.2. The
DynAnyFactory was added in 2.3.

I don't understand this. omniidl does generate the insertion /
extraction operators, and it works fine. Do you have some example code
which fails?

That function is for creating DynAnys of _basic_ types. Arrays are not
a basic type. You must use create_dyn_array() to create a dynamic
array.
